The Relationship Between School Administrators' Multicultural Personality Traits, Diversity Perspectives and Conflict Management Strategies

Öz

This study aims to examine the perceptions and views of school administrators regarding the relationship between their multicultural personality traits, diversity perspectives, and conflict management strategies. The research is designed as an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach. The sample of the study consists of 475 school administrators. In the quantitative aspect of the research, data were collected from the school administrators using the Multicultural Personality Scale, the Diversity Perspective Scale, and the Conflict Management Strategies Scale. In the qualitative aspect of the research, a semi-structured interview form was developed to understand the reasons behind the findings obtained in the quantitative phase. In this regard, interviews were conducted with 13 school administrators. It was observed that the majority of school administrators exhibit high levels of multicultural personality traits, predominantly adopt the color-blind approach to diversity, and prefer the avoidance strategy in conflict management. Furthermore, school administrators tend to avoid conflicts and occasionally support homogeneity. School administrators explained their preference for the color-blind approach to factors related to both the administrators’ personal views and the education system. The preference for the avoidance strategy in conflict management was explained by differences in the administrator's approach to conflicts and the nature of the conflict parties. Additionally, administrators stated that the high preference for the avoidance strategy might be related to factors such as the administrator, the education system, the school environment, and the nature of the conflict.
